Text Messages loading slowly - Hero CDMA General

SO, when I access text messages, I noticed they have been taking longer and longer to load. I am thinking this has to do with the fact that my phone has over 3200 text messages/threads in the memory. Is there a way to auto delete messages when you go over say 1000 in memory? I've searched everywhere for a setting and could not find anything.

On mms.apk (messaging) there is an option under settings that lets you limit how many each conversation can have.
There is also an app called Delete Old Messages where you can have it set to auto delete all messages except the ### most recent. you get to chose how many. But for that feature you have to buy it instead of using the free version.
Hope that helps

Where?Ghost text.

My bad, its on the AOSP mms i pulled from darchvanilla - the one with the green icon.
But its right under settings > storage settings > Text message limit.
I attached the apk if you want to use it. First nand backup and then rm the old Mms.apk under /system/app/ After that, push the downloaded one there.

Cool, could you really attach it though?
Also, can i do those steps with root explorer while the phone is running? Oh wait, i have to nandroid anyways, disregard....
EDIT: I swear it wasnt there 2.5 seconds ago when i posted. Lol. Thanks bro. I really need this option. Just met a new chick recently, and her conversation got to over 350 messages in less than two days. I was like why is my ish running sluggish. Oh yeah... hundreds of messages to load.

Haha yeah, you're not crazy, i did forget it at first
You're welcome, glad i could help

So yeah, anyway i can do this without reseting? I dont have time to nandroid, and dont feel like resetting my phone cause im waiting for an important call. I tried using root explorer to just switch them, that was a no go. So i put the original MMS back and tried to install the ASOP one over it, but it wont install. Any thoughts?

us a terminal emulator.
cd /sdcard
cp Mms.apk /system/app
Done!

Question for Devs on MOD Mms.apk

Ok so I modified the the none bubble Mms.apk for froyo to allow 5mb and high quality (1920x2560) transfers. I'm able to send them fine and I know this cause my friend with an iphone can get them as I sent them.
however if she sends me a pic, my epic will download the high quality pic (700kb), but when I save it to the memory card its only (93kb) and 640x480...
Anyone know why this is?
Is it just a save issue or is the phone not really downloading the full 700kb it says it is?
Thanks...
EDIT:
never mind, I figured it out

It might be nice to say what you did in case someone else has this issue and comes upon your post in search.
Hey would you mind posting the working version.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ok basically it was a settings issue within the app itself...
you need to go into the Mms settings and under "Custom User-Agent" select "Custom" then enter any name you want for the custom user agent... You might need to restart the messaging app, but I tested it and was able to save at full 2560x1920 ...
I'm going to post the modded Mms as an update.zip in case anyone wants to use it...
It's only been tested on froyo.
you might need to clear the messaging data...
settings>applications>manage applications>All>messaging>clear data
Would u be able to do something lik thi with the bubble version ms.apk of froyo?? If so would it be too much to trouble you for that?

And I just cant part with this Beautiful Brunette!

I already checked my wallpaper folder all of them , and she's no where to be found!
She's somewhere in the ROM program, but no where I can get to or find!
Also if I take a snapshot of her with the Widgets, that,ll be no good unless I remove all of them, theres got to be a way of accessing this wallpaper photo of it clean, so I can add it to my wall Paper Folder.

if that is the default wallpaper for the rom you will be able to find it in the framework-res.apk use your favorite method to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework either to your phone or your computer. then unzip either using root explorer or 7zip (just right click and extract with 7zip on pc) then look in /res/drawable-hdpi the wallpaper will be named default_wallpaper.jpg or something to that effect.
Cheers

Nice, thanks shreddintyres, that sounds like a viable option, my only ? now is what to use to pull the framework-res.apk from the /system/framework, the rest Ive got a grip on, but Ill start reading until I figure out exactly what you just instructed, haven't EVER dissected a ROM yet, so I need to learn, so I can retrieve that Wallpaper, of course it sure would've been alot easier if it had been in the wallpaper folder, but I'll be a good learning lesson. If i really want to customize this ROM the way I want!

I use Root Explorer. Works perfectly. I actually just used this same exact method to pull the default wallpaper from Trigger ROM.
Yeah its in the framework-Res.apk as default_wallpaper.jpg. I meant to include it and several other dark ones but must have forgotten to add them.
EDIT; I've added a zip file to the OP of Simply Honey Pro that contains the extra wallpapers I forgot to include, including the one references here.

just call me Shred
there are 2 methods that i like to use.
Using the phone as eminembdg said use root explorer (one of the most useful applications you will ever purchase for your phone) go into the system/framework directory then at the top of your screen there will be a button that says Mount r/w press that now you will be able to read and right to that directory (do not delete anything you will soft brick). now scroll down to find framework-res.apk long press and select copy then navigate to some directory on the directory /sdcard and paste.
Using the computer you will use adb. this requires that you have the android-sdk installed.
reboot phone into recovery (cwm recovery works the best)
open command prompt on computer, connect phone to pc with usb
navigate to directory where you have the android sdk then navigate to /android-sdk/platform-tools
execute the following commands
adb devices (this starts the adb daemon and allows will indicate that your phone and computer are communicating)
now execute the following command
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\<your chosen directory>
you now have the framework-res.apk on your computer
Cheers
It would be great for you , since you are interested, to try out those methods mentioned.
But... if all else fails, I could download the ROM and pull it for you, lemme know if you'd want me to do that for ya.
See my post above for easiest method.

i
With all due respect. I don't pay attention to whats posted down there when helping someone. A lot of ppl change their roms but don't change their sig.. Told ya the op would have most all the answers after all they made the rom
Thanks to ALL
To all the responders, appreciate all of ya, And Id like to pony up an apology to nomadrider123, I didnt mean to be rude, but after looking at it, [the responce] It certainly appears that way!
Anyway I got it done using a fresh download of the ROM , found the JPEG picture separated it, and uploaded it to the phone and then to my gallery, where it is now a file to be used as a wallpaper choice!
From there you choose it, and then Re-size it to fit right/save and there she is again!
Anyway Ive themed it already to a blue background, and then re-installed the Beautiful DAME as my wallpaper, and I now have a custom phone I really like and is easy on my eyes!
My only gripe now is I cant change the icons in TW, any suggestions on that?
IS TW a different animal, and needs a different software interface to MOD it?
And yes!! I'm a TW Fan. I love it! Navigates so fluidly!
I have installed on my phone ADW EX and Launcher Pro, And when I'm in TW GT Launcher I cant change the Icons, which doesn't make sense to me! So Ill figure it out or everybody here is quick with help! And Ill go with the soundest advice I get from Ya,ll! Again many thanks to all who gave!
Its a great feeling to customize my Business Tool, with minds all from all over the Globe!! Awesome community here!!
You have a couple of choices if your talking about changing your app icons. The first and simplest is to use ADW and chose a the with the icons you want. But since you like the TW launcher you'll have to change the icon of each app. You can open the AOL's just like you did to find the wallpaper. Same folder and its usually icon.PNG. if you use 7zip you can move the files around pretty easy. Just make sure and rename the new one the same as the old and stay away from the XML files unless your sure what your doing with it.
PM me if you or need more info.

Need help recovering a file...

so i had a completely stock atrix as of a few days ago, and i decided to dive in head first and start tinkering. im rooted, sideloaded, and gingerblured. and i love it. its fantastic. my problem is that i took a picture of my girlfriend as my wallpaper before flashing gingerblur, and forgot to back anything up. well the flash wiped everything, my wallpaper didnt change, by luck... but i cant seem to find the file anywhere on the atrix. aaaaaand i dont have another copy. anyone have an idea on how i might be able to find it?
really? nobody has any clue?
There are numerous programs that will attempt to recover data from SD cards though I am not sure they will work if the pic was on the internal storage partition on your phone.
Its your girlfriend right?
Take another pic?
I dont remember if i stored it on internal or sd. But being as its still the wallpaper, it has to be cached somewhere, right? And while i could take another picture, perhaps i like the one i have. Id like to excersize my options before giving up. But thank you for that well thought out, very contributory answer shriva. Much obliged...

I'm out of ideas then. If you only want it for wallpaper then you could clear off a home screen and use a screenshot app to save a copy, but if it's scrolling when you switch home screens then you're going to miss some of it. Also, depending on your launcher you're going to probably have some visible icons in the dock.

Try this path using root explorer.
data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper
There should be a file in there called wallpaper.
I would use copy though, not move.

Go here and follow all instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107499. This will make the option to install non-market apps straight on your device (HTC Aria) appear!!! Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Unable to send/receive mms (since settings are erased - maybe re-inputting them will enable it again?...)
- HTC Wallpaper list disappears (These wallpapers can still be accessed in their root folder - system/customize/resource)

I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.

as long as I can download the .apk, its really not that big of a deal to me anyway. Just have to connect phone to pc, find the file, drag it to my computer and then install it with android injector. This works for amazon apps and any app I have download from here.

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.

I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.
sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.
edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.
just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.

The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.

Maybe try restarting the phone. It failed on me a few times once I got logged in and I just restarted it. Try killing it with the task killer and going back in maybe; it should be working perfect now. Last tip: maybe try it without wifi (mine was on) and with wifi.

You have to use root explorer or adb and push it inside system/app. You don't install it you'll just keep getting errors. After you push it just reboot.
Edit: If you push it and it still doesn't work maybe your rom is missing some elements that it needs for hub to work. It won't work on sense 1.0 roms, just 2.1 and 3.0 sense.
gotcha thanks...
copied and pasted with file explorer... still a no go
